DISABLED ACCESS FACILITIES
When relocating to new premises in 1995 one of our main considerations ahead of the more recent legislation was for disabled customer access throughout the premises. Disabled access ramps were immediately installed both externally to the shop door and internally between areas of customer access. It is therefore possible for disabled clients to park on our private forecourt and gain wheelchair access throughout the shop.

Sherwood Models is located on the A60 Nottingham to Mansfield trunk road 100m North of its junction with the A6514 Nottingham Ring Road (Grid Reference SK578444). The A60 connects Nottingham to the M1 J29 north of Mansfield, and to the A614 Doncaster and A1/A1M 3.5km north of our premises. The A6514/A52 Nottingham Ring Road circles Nottingham to the east connecting with the major arterial routes A610 Eastwood/Belper and M1 J26, A609 Ilkeston, A52 Derby and M1 J25, and A453 from M1 J24 (East Midlands Airport). To the south the Nottingham Ring Road A52/A6514 joins with the A60 Loughborough, A606 Meltom Mowbray and Leicester via A46 before turning north-east as the A52 Grantham and A46 Newark.
The most prominent landmark on Mansfield Road (A60) is the Vale Public House located opposite the shop on the Nottingham bound side of the road at the traffic light controlled junction with Thackeries Lane and Ribblesdale Road. Approaching from the north the retail parks on both sides of the road with B&Q, Comet, Currys and Sainsbury Homebase are easy to recognize as the road widens out prior to the Ring Road A6514 junction. From the south the shop is 100 metres north of the Ring Road junction with the A60 prior to Kwik Fit.
Public Transport
Most Nottingham City Transport (NCT) buses with Arnold destinations departing from the Old Market Square (Slab Square) in the centre of Nottingham stop outside our premises or within 75 metres (please check with the the drivers prior to boarding). For NCT timetables and routes visit Nottingham City Transport On Line.
Many local and national buses from Bartons and National Express/Stagecoach travelling north from Nottingham, or south from areas such as Sheffield, Mansfield or Doncaster again stop within 75 metres of the shop.
